An injury has caused a change to the UFC’s return to England next month.

Tom Watson (16-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC) has been forced out of his middleweight fight with Alessio Sakara (15-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC), and Magnus Cedenblad (11-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) has stepped up to fill in. UFC officials made the announcement of the new pairing for UFC Fight Night 30 on Sunday.

UFC Fight Night 30 takes place Oct. 26 at Manchester Arena in England. The bulk of the card airs on FOX Sports 2 following prelims on Facebook.

Cedenblad gets his new booking quickly after a fast submission win over Jared Hamman just two weeks ago at UFC 164 in Milwaukee. The Swede needed just 57 seconds in that fight to stop Hamman with a guillotine choke. That got him his first UFC victory after suffering a loss to Francis Carmont in his promotional debut in April 2012.

In early 2010, Sakara had a three-fight winning streak. But since then, he’s suffered three consecutive losses to Chris Weidman, Brian Stann and then Patrick Cote. Although the loss to Cote was by disqualification, the Italian striker was in control of the bout and only suffered the defeat due to elbows that were deemed illegal and to the back of the head. But he has been out since that fight due to kidney issues.

Watson was hoping to fight in his home country for the third time in four UFC fights. He was on an 11-1 run before signing with the UFC in 2012. But the former UCMMA and BAMMA champion dropped a split decision to Brad Tavares in his promotional debut. He rebounded with a TKO win over Stanislav Nedkov that earned him both “Fight of the Night” and “KO of the Night” bonuses. But in his most recent bout, he dropped a one-sided unanimous decision to Thales Leites at UFC 163.

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
